With Binance Options, users will be able to buy or sell the underlying asset at a pre determined price, either before or at a certain date. In Binance’s case the underlying asset, for now, was only BTC/USDT and will give a lower entry barrier and flexibility. Binance said its options product provides a shorter time frame compared to traditional options, ranging from 10 minutes to 1 day.

“On Binance Options, dealers must be a buyer, instead as a seller as Binance is the only issuer. Therefore, there is no order book on Binance Options. The options will be exercised when traders “settle” (also known as exercise) the options any time before the expiry date or when the options expire.”

At first, the feature is just accessible to Android and iOS users through their mobile apps. However, the team is also working to integrate it into the web platform.
